What official is the president of the US?

Answer 1

Air Force One is the code name given to the plane the President uses for official business. It is actually more than one plane.

The plane the president usually uses is called a VC-25. It is a customized Boeing 747 that has everything from a desk to an emergency room in it. There are two of them.

The name "Air Force One" means the plane the president is actually using at the time. He usually uses the VC-25, but if the president is going somewhere a 747 won't go, he will get a plane that can land where he's going, and THAT plane is Air Force One as long as the president is using it...so, if the president is going out into the Alaskan bush and the only plane that can possibly land there is a Cessna Caravan, for that trip Air Force One is a Cessna Caravan.

The president also has a helicopter. It is operated by the US Marine Corps, so if he's on his heli he is on Marine One. The current helicopters are the only H-60 Blackhawks the Marine Corps owns.
